The first mistake everyone makes, especially outsiders and fresh grads, is assuming that each Big 4 is one large unified global firm with 100s of thousands of people.
Actually, it is merely a network of national firms that share branding, some common systems, and some information. They are pretending to be a single global entity only.
So, whatever amazing AI, data analytics or whatnot efficiency initiatives that US, Australia or other Big 4 in developed first-world Western economies wanna do, has very little relevance to Singapore Big 4.
In Singapore, Big 4's tried-and-tested cost efficiency initiative is basically to hire more cheap JHKs to do twice the work for half the pay.
